  • Summary

  • This week’s Happy Half Hour is a tale of food, community, and grit. Drew Vick, co-owner of Monarch Del Mar, takes us through his incredible journey of opening one of North County’s most transformative restaurants in the middle of the pandemic—complete with personal tragedy, a 75-year-old arm-wrestling for a half-million-dollar investment, and bringing a once-doomed Del Mar rooftop to life. We also cover Canelo Alvarez’s U.S. taco debut with El Pastor Del Rica in Chula Vista, the triumphant reopening of Convoy dim sum legend China Max post-fire, and San Diego’s holiday dining scene—from igloos at Lake San Marcos to Brad Wise’s festive lunches at Fort Oak.
